Season of the Shark by Yo La Tengo Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Do you need someone to hide behind?
Well, I don't mind, well, I don't mind
Do you need to be alone to unwind?
Well, that's alright, that's alright
Sure I know it's hard
You know that it's that way for everyone, for everyone
Some things go wrong
Sink so low, you even blame the sun

[Chorus]
You blame it as the 'cause
Of the shadows on the wall
They're not as bad as they appear
Could it be that it's the season of the shark?

[Verse 2]
Do you need someone to help you through?
Well, I don't know, I don't know
Someone to take questions for you
I don't know, I don't know
I want to be
The one to make you feel okay right now
Some way, somehow
When I fall short
I sink so low, I even blame the clouds
[Chorus]
For blocking out the sun
And the shadows on the wall
That's why you feel alone
Could it be that it's the season of the shark?

[Verse 3]
Please don't be afraid
No matter how much out there scares you so, scares you so
Just look around
If it's not me, then someone else you know

[Chorus]
You're not alone at all
Ignore the shadows on the wall
They don't mean a thing
Could it be that it's the season
I believe that it's the season of the shark
Could it be that it's the season of the shark?
